Are the drawers able to be used as file holders or is the configuration not setup for that?

The drawers are not set up for file holders. Only about 6-7" of clearance each drawer.

The draws are not deep enough for a 8x10 file folder. They are only about 5 inches deep.

I don't know/never tried it. I doubt you can remove the drawers as they work together -- you can't pull both drawers out at the same time/there is some kind of stop mechanism. Most file cabinets work like this/otherwise they would tip over easily. Ask the manufacturer.

The drawer has a build in rack so you can hang folders OR use drawer for other items. the rack hanger bars are plastic, but durable. Your hanger files will stay in place not coming off as some do. I have two and I am very happy with my cabinets.

The top right is indeed a file drawer, the two smaller on the left are just drawers for miscellaneous items. All of the file drawers are locking, but the miscellaneous drawers are not.

I don't know -- I didn't try to get the drawers out. The delivery person put it in the room where I wanted it and I slid it into place before putting file folders in the drawers.

The drawer is "barely" divided, with VERY low permanent wood dividers. You can use them or not.

One drawer, bottom, would hold only regular files. It will hold hanging files. The file is so deep, you would not get away with just file folders. You would need to have the hanging folder to put the file folder into. When you are sitting in the chair, the files would face sideways, towards you, vs. file drawers that are facing front to the back. Hope this helps.

The answer is a qualified "yes." Its adjustable backing consists of crimped wire separators. These are difficult to keep in position, nor are instructions for their use included. However, note that the sides of the drawers are of correct height to support hanging files, which is a better system for holding folders in position. Higher sides on the drawers means that it is unnecessary to purchase separate racks to support hanging files. For partially full drawers, the crimped wires will have to do.

it is a bit tight. If the drawer was full it would be difficult. If there is space to tilt the file a bit it works fine.

The drawers do have bottoms, but if you hope to store items under files, there would not be enough room. If you are just looking for a means to store things, I think there are many more less expensive ways to accomplish this.

I don't think so. Anyway, if you place the shelf on top, how are you going to have access to the folders?

1) The drawers are not tall enough, 2) They are not deep enough from the front of the drawer to the back, plus because the drawer glides are not full suspension, a part of the drawer back is hidden within the frame.Main reason is that each drawer is not tall enough for hanging files

The drawers are small so the won't hold letter size folders. They are sized to easily hold disks in their cases, or smaller items like extra print cartridges, headphones, etc.

The drawers are designed to be the right size for hanging files, so there's no extra room at the bottom. I use letter size hanging files, so there is about four inches of space to the side of the folders if you wanted to put something there.

You do not need the hanger for the files with this drawer. The sides of each draw has a lip that holds the file. Comes ready to go!

The one I have has one long drawer and is fully enclosed (bottom, sides, back) so if you don't want to use it for hanging files, then it's just a drawer. I see now they make it with 2 drawers. That would be much better. This is a very sturdy, beautiful piece of furniture. I have the matching desk and book case as well. Highly recommend this furniture!

no, the rails are in the front and back of the drawer, so the files go sideways.
